We
know you tuned in for Hilary Duff’s MTV Video Music Award
appearance. But only select few were present for her press
conference. Or as we’d like to call it, her “press talk.” Here’s
your ticket in…

Tell us about your album.

I wrote
two songs on the album. It's much more rock than my last album. In
the last year, I've gone through a lot of stuff and I feel like that
comes out in the album. There's so much negativity that goes on.
[The album’s] about opening up.
What do you think it takes to be hot in this day and age?
So many people have their own thing going on. Confidence is what is
so important. Some would say it's what people wear, but I think it's
confidence that makes someone attractive.

What’s the hardest part of your job?
The hardest part of my job is not having any time to myself. Every
time you go outside or go to a restaurant or try and shop, someone's
looking at you. People don't understand when they see you one-on-one
that maybe you had the longest day or something. But when you see
how excited they get, it makes it worth it.

How do you stay fit?
I'm young. I don't know. I don't diet. I eat really bad. I eat junk
food all the time. I have a trampoline and that helps.How was
touring?
I loved it so much. I got to do it with my sister which was even
better. We had so much fun on the road. We've been lucky to have
people coming out and supporting us. It's a cool feeling.

Who are you dating these days?
I read all the time that I'm dating new people. But it's not true. I
don't have a boyfriend and I'm not dating anyone. I'm always
working. My car is my boyfriend.

Anything notable about your new video?
It's all a live video. It shows backstage stuff and it's promoting
the movie. It's actually the first concert that we filmed. We had to
do the song 3 times. The day before we had to do all the close-up
shots. Usually I perform in Converse, but I performed in heels
because it looks better on camera. There were probably only about
two-hundred people. I was walking up the steps and I slipped all the
way down.
